Like almost everyone, I really like the works of Steven Spielberg and the acting of Tom Hanks (oh, except for reviewers who called this a "Dad movie"...it's too bad you are limiting yourselves to missing a lot of classics based on your silly old guy filter). Together, these two guys are a can't miss duo. They have made some amazing films and "Bridge of Spies" is yet another. I don't know how I missed this. I knew it existed but it just never caught my attention.
This film looks amazing. The performances of Hanks and Mark Rylance are great. There isn't a lot of action, but the dialog and story are fantastic. The scenes near the East Berlin/West Berlin wall and the turmoil in the area was palpable. It felt as if Hanks's character was in constant danger. Spielberg's forced happy endings have bothered me at times but this one felt special and deserved.
